A few years ago I forced myself to watch and came away shrugging my shoulders. I don't think it has held up well at all to be honest. Nothing wrong with you loving it though.

Exactly how I feel about TMNT 1990. The animated movie had me far more engaged and it didn't even have Shredder.

How I wish this new movie was picked up by a quality directer like a Fincher, someone who has you scratching your head as to why they are taking on a 'kiddy' subject matter and then they turn in a masterpiece. Instead this movie is being produced by the biggest hacks in Hollywood (Other than the Scary Movie people). The Transformer movies are so bad they are offensive and the less said about Wrath of the Titans the better. This movie is going to be a toilet humour, CG filled, plotless suckfest.

Yeah, I know that. Just posting it to show that it's been officially done in CG before.

Also the new toon does it in their opening...

VIDEO-CLick to Watch!:

Paramount Pictures has moved the release of their upcoming reboot Ninja Turtles. Originally slated for release on May 16, 2014, the Jonathan Liebesman-directed project will now arrive three weeks later on June 6.

The film, rumored to begin production this April, recently cast Megan Fox in a role that, although still not officially confirmed, is believed to be that of April O'Neil.

Ninja Turtles features a screenplay by Josh Appelbaum, Andrew Nemec, Art Marcum, Matt Holloway and John Fusco, based on the characters created by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman.

I think that Bay is fine when dealing with R rated fare like Bad Boys or The Rock but he is terrible at doing so called edgy family movies like Transformers. And the director of this thing is just a full blown hack. So you are right.

Re: New Live Action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie In The Works? - Part 3

if they start filming in april when do you think they will show the turtles? you think they will hide and tease them in the first teaser trailer and in promo pics like the transformers? in the theatrical trailer in march 2014 they will show them. but i wonder if they will in 2013? they are already working on the CGI.

i am in a way hyped about the look. its a bay produced movie and the studio hopes for TF money .so they will look offensive,stupid and as cliche as they can be.

I think Bay meant for the turtles themselves to be of an alien origin, not just the mutagen. Everybody knows that the mutagen was from aliens, be it the utroms or Krang himself. But the earlier press releases for Bays turtles seemed to put emphasis on the turtles being an alien species rather than genetic freaks of nature/ mutations.

Re: New Live Action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie In The Works? - Part 3

I don't care if the ooze is of alien origin, or some sort of of genetic primer, radioactive waste, or dog snot - it has to be the genesis of the turtles form. It has to come from ooze. The talk of they're being part of an alien race is crap.

I don't care if they incorporate aliens and all the other more fantastical scifi elements that made their way into the cartoons and comics. I never liked any of that stuff, but it worked surprisingly well for the MCU.
